Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again

When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.

Janel took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She kept us informed, took him on walks and spent lots of extra time with him. Janel is very responsible and we were super comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend!

Kaylee was wonderful! We did a meet and greet the day before we left, and immediately had a good feeling about her. We have a special needs old dog (deaf and blind), and she listened and asked questions and kept us informed as to how things were going. We would recommend her to anyone, 100%

From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!

We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️

Payton was awesome with our 3 cats. One of them needed a little extra care since he was diabetic and required insulin shots twice a day and special food. Not only did she make sure they were fed Payton always took time to give them all the extra love and pets. I would highly recommend Payton to care for your fur babies.

Brooke took excellent care of my dogs for almost a week. She was responsive and cared responsibly for my two senior dogs who can be demanding and a bit spoiled. Communication was great and she was the perfect house guest. Will definitely trust Brooke with my dogs next time. She is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter I would highly recommend to friends and family.
